Taslima Nasreen is probably more outspoken than some of her predecessors, such as Jahanara Imam and Begum Sufia Kamal who preached the virtues of liberal humanism, and for which she has become the latest target of the fundamentalists.
The political climate in Bangladesh is now less responsive to secular ideals and it is entirely predictable that her portrayal of the plight of Hindu families in that country in the wake of the demolition of Babri masjid in her novel, Lajja, should be interpreted as evidence of leanings towards India.
